After suffering a grade-one lateral collateral ligament (LCL) sprain Week 14, Griffin pulled a Wolverine and started to heal at a superhuman rate (X-Men reference, anyone?). According to the Associated Press, RGIII will probably play on Sunday, and head coach Mike Shanahan plans to start him barring a setback.

Despite coming back from this injury so quickly, all reports on RGIII sound encouraging. Additionally, a grade-one strain implies the ligament was not torn, only over-stretched.

A severe concussion has held McCoy out since he suffered the injury Week 11. Jeff McClane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that he will make his return this week versus the Washington Redskins, when the Eagles will try to play the role of postseason spoiler.

Worth the risk for McCoy and the Eagles? Debatable.

Worth the risk for fantasy owners everywhere given the performance of Bryce Brown and the fact that McCoy is coming off a concussion? Just as debatable.

After all, there can't be any easy answers for the fantasy football finals, can there?

Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants (8-6): Questionable

The Giants have zero room for error, and they definitely want to have the talents of their star running back available. At this point, it remains unclear if they will.

According to Matt Ehalt of ESPNNewYork.com, Bradshaw remains tagged as questionable, in part due to a December 9 knee sprain he suffered against the New Orleans Saints.

From a fantasy standpoint, Bradshaw is a risky play at best, even if active. Look elsewhere, if you can.

Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers (5-9): Questionable

Stewart continues to be limited by an ankle injury, and according to Ryan Gamble of Examiner.com, it isn't looking good for Week 16. High ankle sprains tend to linger, as they involve the ligaments connecting the two large bones in the lower leg.

Even if active, Stewart will likely not receive many touches, making running back DeAngelo Williams an interesting fantasy football start against a porous Oakland Raiders defense.

Stay tuned.

Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12): Out

Fred Yates of ESPNBoston.com reports that Jones-Drew has been ruled out for the Jaguars' Week 16 contest against the New England Patriots.

This represents another rough break for MJD owners, as none of the other Jaguars running backs are viable starts for Week 16.

The NFL-mandated return-to-play testing following a concussion requires a minimum of five days to complete. According to my own calculated statistics that are based on ESPN's and PBS' Concussion Watch, players have returned for their next game following a concussion about half the time this season.

Keep an eye out for reports this weekend about Smith's status.

Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers (10-4): Out

Nelson tried to return from a hamstring injury too soon earlier this season, and it cost him. According to Packers beat writer Tyler Dunne, his injury has cost him Week 16, as well.

Though he returned to practice this week and is only "questionable" on the Patriots' injury report, Gronkowski will miss Week 16, according to Michael David Smith of NBC Sports. Make sure he isn't in your lineup.

Brandon Pettigrew, Detroit Lions (4-10): Doubtful

*REMINDER: ATL vs. DET is a Saturday evening game*

John Katzenstein of the Detroit News reports that Pettigrew is doubtful for Week 16 due to an ankle injury.

Due to this news, ESPN's Matthew Berry ranks Lions tight end Tony Scheffler as a top-10 play this week. That is definitely something to consider if you are desperate.
